DEATH OF MR. JOHN MULLIGAN.
We regret to have to record the death of Mr. John Mulligan, a
wellknown
Sheffield ringer, who passed away on Wednesday, March 8th, at the age
of 60 years. Deceased had been in indifferent health for a considerable
time, but had only been off work about four weeks, consumption. being
the cause.
His ringing career commenced at Norfolk Row, on the old peal of
steel
bells in 1874. He joined the company when the present peal were hung in
1875, and it was here that he conducted his first peal. He afterwards
became a member of the Ranmoor company, where he called several peals
of Grandsire Triples, and of late years was a member of the Sheffield
Cathedral Society, resigning a few years ago on account of his health.
The funeral took place at Intake Cemetery on Monday, the 13th,
in the
presence of a large number of his fellow ringers, a course of Grandsire
Triples being rung over the open grave by Messrs. Burgar, Holmes,
Thorpe and Thomas.
Mr. Mulligan had placed some 60 peals to his credit, the
majority of
them being rung with the Yorkshire Association (of which he was a life
member), his last being one of Kent Treble Bob Major at Norton on the
30th September, 1907. R.I.P.
